Review of WBS
The project plan is the plan for the project and is focused on the different process groups identified by PMI. If you look back to 3.2 Project plan basic components, you’ll see where all of the pieces and parts of a project are included in a comprehensive plan. For example, the WBS is just a piece of the project plan, usually associated with the milestones and timelines.
The WBS contains the tasks to be done on the project and is usually prepared in a hierarchical format such as an outline or a table with sections indented. A high-level WBS is usually included as an outline format section in the project plan, and the full WBS is a separate document. As discussed in 4.3 Project Tools, the WBS is usually broken down into packages where a single work package contains between eight to eighty hours of work to complete. Someplace the high-level outline in PMI phases (initiation, planning, execution, control, and closeout). Others place the high-level WBS in a graphical tree structure. Items commonly contained in the high-level WBS can include plans, milestones, and deliverables. The following sample was taken from a WBS template offered by Project Management Docs (2020). This example of a set of hierarchical tasks.
Project Name
1.1. Initiation
1.1.1. Evaluate and create recommendation(s)
1.1.2. Develop Project Charter
1.1.3. Deliverable: Submit Project Charter
1.1.4. Project Sponsor reviews project charter
1.1.5. Project Charter signed/approved
1.2. Planning
1.2.1. Create a preliminary scope statement
1.2.2. Determine project team
1.2.3. Conduct project kickoff meeting
1.2.4. Develop project plan
1.2.5. Deliverable: Submit Project Plan
1.2.6. Milestone: Project plan approved
1.3. Execution
1.3.1. Verify and validate user requirements
1.3.2. Design system
1.3.3. Procure hardware and software
1.3.4. Install development system
1.3.5. Testing phase
1.3.6. Install live system
1.3.7. User training
1.3.8. Go Live
1.4. Control
1.4.1. Project management
1.4.2. Project status meetings
1.4.3. Risk management
1.4.4. Update project management plan
1.5. Closeout
1.5.1. Audit procurement
1.5.2. Document lessons learned
1.5.3. Update files and records
1.5.4. Gain formal acceptance
1.5.5. Archive files and documents
Since a WBS is a hierarchical list of the work to be completed on a project, you’ll commonly see the tasks broken up into sections aligning with the five PMI phases: initiation, planning, execution, controlling, and closing. Visual Paradigm (2020) has provided samples of several different kinds of WBS: phase-based, deliverable-based, responsibility-based, and other such organization of tasks to be completed. This is the same way as the example in LO 4 provided the outline view of a phase-based WBS. So, for example, if there are several deliverables, the deliverables would be laid out just as the phases were.
Deliverable WBS
1.1. Deliverable 1
1.1.1. Part 1 of deliverable
1.1.2 .Part 2 of deliverable
1.1.3. Part 3 of deliverable
1.2. Deliverable 2
1.2.1. Part 1 of deliverable
1.2.2 .Part 2 of deliverable
1.2.3. Part 3 of deliverable
1.3. Deliverable 3
1.3.1. Part 1 of deliverable
1.3.2. Part 2 of deliverable
1.3.3. Part 3 of deliverable
A responsibility-based WBS would be separated by project teams and then list the deliverables each team creates.
Project name WBS
1.1. Project Management Team
1.1.1. Develop project plan
1.1.2. Communicate with stakeholders
1.1.3. Document lessons learned
1.2. Developer Team
1.2.1. Create a design plan
1.2.2. Create database dictionary
1.2.3. Write code
1.2.4. Move code into the testing environment
1.2.5. Move code into production
1.3. Testing team
1.3.1. Test code
1.3.2. Get user acceptance
1.3.3. Complete testing report
A resource WBS might be shown as facility, equipment, software, and staffing. You’re probably familiar with an organizational breakdown structure where the top starts with the CEO and moves through the organizational structure by reporting order.
